Continuing the series of posting albums and/or EPs as and when they are released (or usually a bit after!) as a follow-up to the initial new tracks/singles posted on this blog. Sample the release via the YouTube track (s) then dive in to the full release.
Cruush – Wishful Thinker
“Mancunians Cruush show their wistful side on their regretful new single Features. It’s a dreamy, ethereal affair that washes around you.”
(Stick In The Mud) “It’s female fronted shoegaze erring on the noisier alt-rock side of things. They have some good tracks in their arsenal too, and last September’s False Start is certainly worth a listen”
Wishful Thinker is out now on Heist or Hit.
Oceans – Dreamers In Dark Cities
(Pure) “and there is more than a hint of indiepop in the style of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart running through its veins. There are also loud blasts of retro sounding shoegazing guitars to add some diversity to the track.”
Dreamers In Dark Cities is out now via Shelflife Records.
The Age of Colored Lizards – Hang On
“Hang On sounds a bit like The Jesus and Mary Chain covering The Wedding Present. There is fuzz alongside the soaring, thriving guitars whilst the vocals, which sometimes seem out of place, have a recital feel about them.”
(It’s Not the Way It Used to Be) “More fuzzy goodness from the band’s forthcoming fourth album”
Hang On is out now via Sotron Records.
